About the Front Panel Controls
Most of the Duo-i
plus
functions are operated by the three controls
on the front panel.
Power/Volume – Is controlled by the large knob in the center of
the panel.
Mode – Selects the input you want to use or the function you
want to adjust.
Tune – Tunes in a new radio station.
These logical, intuitive controls make it easy to operate the Duo-i
plus
.
The way you use each contol is the same for each feature. Once
you learn how to control one of the features the rest of them
will be easy. You may not need to refer to this manual once you
understand the way the controls work.
About the Remote Control
Most of the features of the Duo-i
plus
can be operated with the supplied remote
control. When it’s not being used, the remote control can be conveniently
stored in the recess on top of the Duo-i

JOGSPOUPGUIFJ1IPOFJ1PEEPDL
The remote also has a magnetic backing so it can be attached to many metal
surfaces.
Note: When you unpack your remote control there will be a plastic insulation
